Book Club
What can we learn from the Jim Knight book that will help us in our role as coaches?
KIM: p22 last paragraph "Coaching light occurs when coaches want to build and maintain relationships more than they want to improve teaching and learning. From this perspective, coaches act to increase their perceived value to teachers by providing resources and avoiding challenging conversations"
JEFF: p13 under Catalyst for Change "By making observations, stating their point of view, and inquiring into practice, coaches erode stagnant practice and unchallenged routines to spark analysis, reflection, and appropriate change. not change for change sake."
KELLY: p 24 top first two sentences
TERESA: p 27 # 3 on the right side "A coach's primary responsibility is to improve student learning"
